Stolen GTV

Stolen GTV 2.0l, red '83 plastic bumper model, last night from my house. Please keep an eye out for it - club plates 03421H. Allan Goodall.

Sorry to hear that Allan. Have you got a photo? I also have a Red, 83 GTV and so I notice other ones. I did see one on the back of a truck on the western freeway this morning, heading towards Melbourne. I would assume if it was yours it would be heading the other way... This one looked very stock. Did yours have cool wheels or other differentiating marks? Julian

Very stock - factory alloys etc.

Allan - post the chassis and engine numbers as well. Harder to hide than a rego.

Just heard from police - they found it in Dandenong, undamaged. Collecting it later today, hopefully all the internals will be OK.

That's good news! Hopefully all the internals are undamaged too. I suspect second gear will be little more worn though...

Maybe the insurance might have to give you a new paint job and motor
you never know these things can pop up years later
serioiusly congrats the idiot probably was drunk and needed a lift home

That's good news indeed Allan. It sounds like a happy ending to a sad story.

PS Maybe the knucklehead left it when he looked through the rear wheels and thought he'd stolen a car with no rear brakes...

Great to hear Allan. Look forward to hearing a report once you've picked it up and had a chance to check it over.
